Most NFT collections do not convey any Intellectual Property rights over the work, but does whoever acquires non-fungible tokens know this? According to the study “An investigation into NFT licenses: facts and fictions”, by the Galaxy firm, there are two main problems: – The buyer is unaware that he does not acquire the intellectual property of the work. – The seller omits information or uses misleading terms to hide that he is not transferring the IP right to the work. Something like this happened, for example, with Jodorowsky's Dune case. The Spice DAO crypto group paid $2,66 million for one of the original copies of the book “Dune” by the Chilean-French director with the images, illustrations and sketches for the attempted adaptation that he made in the 70s of the classic. Science fiction. His idea, when acquiring the book, was to produce a series and sell the rights to a streaming service, but having the book, even if it was original, did not grant any rights to its intellectual property. Having an original copy, or having an NFT, does not mean that you have the rights to the work, much less that you can generate a new product. The rights will remain in the hands of its creator. The way is to be well advised, and this is where ELZABURU comes in. He talks to our experts.

Our partner collaborates in the article in the latest IBERIAN LAWYER publication on the subject and points out the similarity between the metaverse and the digital contexts that already exist: «It may seem like a different scenario to us, but it is not so different. Just as platforms and social networks such as Twitter, Instagram or YouTube apply mechanisms for the identification, reporting and elimination of infringing content generated by the users themselves, metaverses must also apply this type of control mechanisms. "And adds two recommendations: - To guarantee the protection of trademarks, the most prudent thing is to extend the protection of trademark registrations. – Control user-generated content (UGC) to market, due to the risk of infringement of third-party intellectual property rights We leave you the full article

What would you do if you had to cross a snowy desert? How would you do it if your main objective is to respect the natural environment as much as possible? A giant sled with caterpillar movement that allows it to absorb the impact of irregularities in the terrain. Paragliders or kites are responsible for pulling it, thanks to the force of the wind, so it is a zero-emission vehicle. This was the idea that he registered years ago through a utility model. Our colleagues Juan Miguel Sáinz de Marles and Pedro Saturio Carrasco, who was personally in charge of preparing the record, know well that it is the inventors who make the world move forward: "At this moment, Ramón Larramendi faces the SOS ARCTIC 2022 expedition," sailing” on the ice with his Wind Sled, developed by him to achieve what other means could not or were prohibited. This intrepid adventurer, entrepreneur, scientist and inventor, brings us once again the illusion of facing the most difficult and the unknown, to give us all his experience and discoveries, having left the land that the team crossed as virgin as they found it. .» Larramendi's objective is to monitor the climate of the pole, which will help create protection measures against climate change throughout the planet. This is the importance of having an idea, carrying it out and protecting it. Don't let anyone hinder your #entrepreneurship! We support you.
